Does the suggested Specimen + Seq24 work that way?
I have used Rosegarden with loop samples. Problems: audio clips
are skipped and played at wrong speed, could not set tempo properly
for some reason, there are silences between consequtive clips.
I have also hard time to make anything usable with the loops.
I'm really beginner in arranging. It took me quite a while to
notice that the loops I have can be grouped to groups of slightly
different lengths. Further, a group can have 0.5, 1 and 1.5 length
loops. Different groups could indicate the loops of different groups
simply cannot be used in the same arrangement without tempo change.
Try the samples yourself:
www.mountedbythegods.com
ftp.funet.fi/pub/culture/music/western/Yello/ (for tar.bz2 file)
The samples are provided by Boris Blank of Yello. If you're curious:
very recently two interviews of BB appeared at Native Instruments and
Emagic websites. I wish we would have software similar to Logic.
BB provides Absynth2 sounds at NI site, but they are usable and
available only for Absynth2 users.
>any suggestions?
Next I will check Ardour.
I'm compiling a list of software which comes with source code.
Below I have appended some picks.
I too have used Csound for arranging (at 1997). I wrote C code
such as
track(16);
push();
bskip(6*8);
for(i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
apps(16,0.8);
}
pop();
and that was made to Csound sco file like this
i16 17.527846 3.316531 0.800000
i16 20.436936 3.316531 0.800000
i16 23.346026 3.316531 0.800000
i16 26.255116 3.316531 0.800000
i16 29.164207 3.316531 0.800000
i16 32.073298 3.316531 0.800000
i16 34.982390 3.316531 0.800000
i16 37.891482 3.316531 0.800000
i16 40.800574 3.316531 0.800000
i16 43.709666 3.316531 0.800000
and Csound orc file looks like this (close enough)
instr 16
asig1 soundin "oneshot3.wav"
outs p4 * asig1,p5 * asig1
endin
If all those new audio software still fails to compile or have
major problems, I have to return to the above simple approach.
Instead of Csound I could use software similar to rawseq or ss.
